Did anyone notice that Reach was available on i-tunes for about a week?

I don't think I've ever seen anything else removed...

Yeah It was there because I downloaded a copy of the album. Ended up complaining to ITunes because there was a really bad skip on the track "Give me the Word" or something like that. I found it odd that it went poof from Itunes, but not much else one can do about it. I suppose if Survivor wants to shoot themselves in the foot, that's there prerogative.

Just more headscratching mystery.


I know it's tough for new records for classic aritsts to get footing these days but Survivor is so UNproactive it's horrible.

Reach, I guess, is stillborn due to no US release and Jamo's jettisoning, but the record itself is VERY good and deserved a shot.

You really liked it that much Red? i did at first, thought it was very good. Still think it is good, but it seems to be wearing thin. I have noticed more tracks just being ok. Nothing really standing OUT.-ERIC

Reach, as I stated before is proof that Sullivan can produce and engineer with the very best of them. He had the good ears n skills for producing in Survivor NOT JP.

Sonically, its an A- job IMHO . Song wise the first half is great the 2nd is too country for me. I think that half Of My heart is a great new survivor ballad song and Talkin bout Love is great but the other 3 Home, Don't Give Up, ROYH are weak IMO. Ditch those 3 and put in 2 rockers and a mid-tempo classic pop song like Someone else's sleepless nights and you'd have a real classic release on your hands.

Seconds Away, Reach, FMS, Gimmie The Word, Talkin Bout Love and Never the less and I don't are mostly from the 1990's when Dave was in the band and 2 new ones with Frankie and Grove and Jamo (GTW) One More Chance is okay too but doesn't pop. A decent tune.


First 6 and Talkin' bout Love are very good the others ehhhh, not my cup!

I've been going OFF playing Nevertheless lately...that thing absolutely blazes even as pissed as I was that JJ didn't sing it.


Droubay is a house aflame on that track.
